The Academic Research Symposium (ARS) is open to all academics and EDGE Conference attendees and offers informative and interactive sessions that provide an exceptional venue for networking with colleagues from around the globe.  Hear the latest in supply chain management, logistics, and teaching innovations research. 

“It was an honor to serve as Chair for the 2018 ARS. I've been a member of CSCMP since I was a doctoral student at Auburn and have developed dozens of relationships with other members via myriad CSCMP activities. The EDGE/ARS conference is a favorite of mine and many of my colleagues because we get to interact with not only some of the world's top supply chain scholars, but also with innovative supply chain managers from a number of top organizations. The blend of participants combined with the collaborative atmosphere is unmatched by any other SCM conference and are the main reason that I encourage others to attend. This year's EDGE is shaping up to be a great experience, and I look forward to meeting new friends, and reconnecting with old ones, too!” 
– Benjamin Hazen, CSCMP Academic Member and 2018 Academic Research Symposium Chair
